don't have any specific recommendations on adhesives but if it's damp/wet, anything you put on it will probably not adhere.
Having said that, I don't have Anderson windows/sliding doors but the company that made mine has a lifetime guarantee.
About two years ago, the 8ft sliding patio door starting fogging up. I gave them a call and they came out about three weeks
later with an entire new set. They figured if one fogged, the other may start as well so they saved us both the trouble by replacing
both at the same time. By then, the doors were over 15 years old.
It might be an idea to check your warranty. It may already be covered by Anderson. They're supposed to be pretty reputable (although a
little pricey).

Subject: [DIY] What's a good adhesive for sticking vinyl cladding back to Andersen doors?
Hi, In 1994 my husband and I had a contractor build a 3-season room on the north side of our Cape Cod style house. One wall consists almost entirely of an Andersen 12' slider with fixed windows on each side and a second wall consists almost entirely of an Andersen 15' slider also with fixed windows on either side. On the 15' slider I just noticed that the vinyl cladding is coming loose from whatever material is underneath (wood, I assume) in four places along the bottom. In the worst place the bottom 3" of vinyl has lifted. Because it is on the north side of the house that wall never gets the sun so the wood will probably never dry out. So I'm looking for the best way to get that cladding adhered back to the wood. Any ideas? This problem has not happened on the 12' slider. Thanks. Joycei
